What is Dua Lipa like?
Short biography
Dua Lipa was born on August 22, 1995, in London to a family of Albanian migrants. Her parents, who came from Kosovo, were forced to say goodbye to their homeland in the early nineties, due to the difficult political situation. The name of the singer, translated from the native language of her parents, has a very beautiful meaning. It translates as: “I love.”
From the very childhood, the future British pop star had a great love for music and very early began to show her musical talent. One of the reasons for this was the fact that her father was involved in rock music for a long time. Little Dua spent a lot of time at rehearsals and performances with her father and his colleagues.
When Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia, the family returned to their homeland. Dua Lipa was thirteen years old at the time. Her voice even then won the hearts of everyone who heard her. But the first popularity came to the young performer at the age of fourteen, when she began to upload cover versions of the songs of Nelly Furtado and Christina Aguilera, very popular at that time, on youtube.
Dua Lipa found it difficult to develop a career in show business in Kosovo and returned to London at the age of 15. This was her first experience of living away from her parents, and it did not immediately succeed her. But a great love for music and a desire to become a popular singer encouraged me in difficult times. Friends were very supportive.
Continuing to develop her musical career, she simultaneously began to build a career as a model. Nice appearance and model data allowed her to quickly conquer the catwalks in London. But even the success in her modeling career did not make the rising star move away from the dream of a big stage and music.
When the young singer was twenty years old, the world-famous company Warner Brothers signed a contract with her, with the support of which Dua Lipa released her first single. 3 months after the debut single, it was immediately followed by the second. Even these first two recordings bring Lipa incredible success. In January 2016, the first concert tour across Europe took place, which gathered an incredibly large number of fans for the young singer. The concert in London, becoming the final highlight of her tour, barely accommodated everyone who wanted to listen to Dua Lipa’s songs performed live.
In the first half of 2016, the young star released her third, fourth, and fifth singles. It was her fifth single entitled Blow Your Mind that broke into the world charts, taking a worthy position in America’s Top 100 Songs and showing very good results in other countries.
The incredible success of the young performer attracted the attention of filmmakers, and in 2016 a film was shot about Dua Lipa’s childhood, family, and career path.
In mid-2017, the first album of the already very popular Dua Lipa, called New Rules, was released. He not only climbed to the top of the UK charts but also broke all records in recent years. In terms of its success, it can compare to the success of the song Hello, which Adele released in 2015.
